Forecasts

Jungle Book (9/2), Speed Merchant (5/1), Lexington Quest (6/1), Mac Mccarthy (7/1), Buy Nice Not Twice (7/1), Kentucky Hardboot (8/1), Ten Chants (9/1), Chromium (9/1), Clandestine Affair (14/1), Precision Storm (14/1), Pilsdon Pen (22/1), Son Of Prancealot (25/1)

MAC MCCARTHY made a winning handicap debut last time out and he looks capable of following up that victory with a triumph in the opening race on the card. The selection is taken to get the better of Chromium who ran well when fourth over shorter here last time out while third place can go to Ten Chants who should appreciate this step up in distance.
